I'll take a neutral stand here. This is what I feel...
It is said that the NKF funds can last them for decades. So the question is , why still socilitate for funds from the public when they already have millions of dollars in the company's bank account????
I feel it is not because of greed or anything but rather to maintain NKF's reputation as a "household name". What I mean by this?
Since they have funds to last them decades , Suppose if yesterday you donated $2 to the NKF and 10-20 years down the road I ask you this question , " Do you know what is the NKF?" now tell me , would that be a yes or a no? Probably a NO right?
I bet MR CEO of NKF and his staff know that the NKF can sit down and shake leg for the next 10-20 years BUT no , cause you see if the NKF stops socilitating for funds for 10-20 years. People might forget who the NKF is and what they do and stuff like that. So the point here is , I feel that in my personal opinion the NKF still socilitates for funds from the public is because they want to maintain that "household name" in the charitable non profit organisation scene. So that whenever we think of a charitable non profit organisation , the NKF will be the first thing on our minds.
At least MR CEO cares about his patients and staff and even pays regular visits to them at the various branches rather than sucking up funds for his own personal salary and leaving his patients to die one by one
I hope my blabbering makes some sense here...
